In recent years there has been considerable rethinking of the whole concept of development, including a growing awareness of its gender, cultural and environmental dimensions, and the impact of globalization The contributors to this volume seek to extend these debates to a more fundamental level, tackling major issues and transcending those озьег critiques of development which simply engage in a blanket dismissal of the whole enterprise Instead they offer innovative ways of re-engaging with a reality that, despite globalization, is very much still a dimension of our era.  VesseliISBN 1856496376.
